Everyday words
Nothing
Start with Genesis 11:6, where the Bible uses the word nothing in a real sentence: “Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
